BRACKET FOR ALARM CLOCKS AND WATCHES.

*Application filed August 10, 1922. Serial No. 580,953.

'T 0 all 10 710772 it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLIE W'. Senna, a citizen of the United States, residing at Superior in the county of Final and State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets for Alarm Clocks and Watches, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a supporting bracket for alarm clocks, watches and the like, and has forits object'the production of a simple and efiic-ient bracket which may be readily and efficiently attached to the bed post or other support for the purpose of conveniently supporting a watch or clock in a position to be viewed by the occupant of the bed, without the necessity of getting up from the bed or uncovering a portion or the body to reach the clock or watch in order to determine the time.

A further object of this invention is the productionof a simple and etiicient bracket support which may be conveniently ad usted to various sizes of bed posts.

0t ier objects and advantages of the pres ent invention will appear throughout the following specification and claim.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bracket shown in engagement with a support.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the bracket, and

Figure 8 is a top plan view of the bracket, a portion of the band being shown in section.

By referring to the drawings it Wlll be suitable or desired structure, around which is adapted to fit a flexible or spring band 2. This band 2 is provided with an anchored end 3, through which passes a securing bolt I 4 having a knurled head 5, the bolt passing through the inner end of the supporting bracket 6. This bracket 6 is provided with an enlarged inner end 7, the inner extremity of which is preferably concaved as shown at 8 for the purpose of fitting snugly around the bed post 1 as clearly shown in Figure 1 of the drawings.

- The band 2 is provided with a pair of suitable apertures 9 to permit the band to be adjusted to accommodate itself to the proper size of bed post, one of the apertures 9 being formed in the outer end 10 of the band 2 as clearly shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. A suitable nut 11 is threaded upon the bolt 4; tor the purpose of firmly clamping the outer end of the band 2 in engagement with the bracket 6. This bracket 6 comprises an elongated forwardly extending arm carrying a supporting hook 12 at its outer end, for the purpose of receiving a watch or clock 13 and supporting the same conveniently away from the post of the bed. As shown clearly in Figure 2, the bracket 6 is provided with an enlarged or thickened portion 14 to produce a wide purchase upon the bed post 1, thereby limiting the downward swing of the bracket 6 with respect to the bed post.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that a very simple and efficient means has been produced for conveniently supporting a clock or watch upon a bed post in order to permit the clock or watch to be readily viewed by the 0;cupant ot' the bed. Furthermore by providing the flexible or spring band 2 for fitting snugly around the bed post, it will be seen that the bracket may be very readily and conveniently attached to the bed post without marring or injuring the bed post or other support upon which the bracket is adapted to fit.

Having described the invention what is claimed is:

In a bracket of the character described comprising a split annular band formed of iesilient material adapted to be sprung about a supporting post, a pair of apertured ears formed on the terminals of the band. a supporting arm having an enlarged end of greater height than the width of said ears disposed. therebetween for engaging the supporting post, means extending through the ars and the enlarged end of the arm for urging the ears in frictional contact with the sides of the enlarged end of the arm, and an arcuate thumb piece formed on the outer terminal 01 one of the ears and extending beyond the enlarged end of the arm. In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

CHARLIE W. SAGER.
